Thanks. Question? Is it have a secnse? Switching to openrc give me speed and overall system responcivness ?

Here https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=38617#p38617
what services is safe to disable?
sysv here, rc-update not found but update-rc.d works

I use openrc init,

How switch Devuan to openrc? And is it safe to swich? What is faster sysv or openrc?

antiX is ONLY window managers (Icewm, JWM, Fluxbox, Herbstluftwm) by default. I don't know if installing XFCE slows down the system - I have XFCE installed on antiX and the system seems plenty fast enough.

Thanks again!) And what distros are you using and which one do you like the most?

So no, you could not say the "only" way to speed up Devuan is to disable unneeded services. It's probably one of the BEST ways to do it though.

and what i could do right in my case?

And enjoy the massively outdated packages during the upcoming freeze. The Debian devs sometimes even leave critical bugs unfixed in the development branches until the release is done...

So what is happens with my Ceres when freeze is come?

Head_on_a_Stick wrote:

I respectfully disagree. Change my mind :-)

LoL. Devuan after hours working feeling like rubber. And Artix not it fast from the boot. On Arch when i push on "Application menu"(not Whisker) after boot, needed  ~10-15! sec to it appear. On Artix all response is instantly.

One thing I do, and check from time to time is services that load at boot.

rc-update, I turn off as many server services as possible...

ie, sudo, squid, openvpn, ssh, savecache, nethack-common, haveged, fancontrol (stops error spam), exim4, dictd, avahi-daemon and bluetooth.

Because I tether my phone as a modem, squid and openvpn are started after I connect to the phone long after the boot processes are done...

:-)

Thanks! And how exactly turn off unneeded services technically? And what services is safe to disable? Were is i can get list of this services?

#310 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Can you suggest some tips and tricks for speed up Devuan? » 2022-11-14 21:45:10

andyprough Thanks a lot!

I thought that antiX with runit, Artix with s6, and a minimal Void installation were all shockingly fast.

But only Artix have xfce out from the box? Why antiX have no xfce by default? If i am install xfce on antiX its not broke the speed?

Also MX is using either sysvinit or systemd - the two slowest init systems that I've personally experienced.

Devuan is pretty fast, but not like antiX, Artix and Void in my experience. Once again, probably has to do with it using sysvinit and starting up more services by default than I really need.

This! So only one way to speed up Devuan is disable unneeded services?

#311 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Can you suggest some tips and tricks for speed up Devuan? » 2022-11-13 23:30:10

andyprough Thank you, very useful!

Using the latest version of an older generation LTS kernel instead of a new generation kernel will usually give you a speed boost according to years of benchmark tests on Phoronix website. LTS kernels such as the 5.10 kernel are optimized over a period of years

And what you can say about MX Linux compare to Devuan? MX have lts kernel 5.10

runit and s6 make systems noticeably faster in terms of booting and program start times compared to sysvinit and are especially faster compared to systemd. So on your Artix systems you'll have a lot of good options there. Also dinit seemed pretty zippy when I tried it.

choice is not rich https://nosystemd.org/ if we speak about Linux with "human face" and that working "out of the box"
